He represented to her that the possession of the duchy of Lithuania, the inhabitants of which were distinguished by their bravery and their turbulence, would enable him-should the king opportunely die-to seize upon the vacant throne of Poland;-that he had numerous and powerful friends among the nobility;-that he had already drawn together his Lithuanians, under pretence of protecting the frontier from the incursion of predatory bands;-that he intended immediately to place himself at their head, and march towards Cracow. Now, if at this moment the throne should suddenly become vacant, what power on earth could prevent him from ascending it, and claiming the hand of his then veritable queen? And then he expatiated on the happiness they should enjoy, when they should live in fearless union,
"Like gods together, careless of mankind."
